The Worst ‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Reviews – Critics Are Raving!

Have you ever seen those movie ads on TV filled with gushing quotes from critics and thought to yourself, “I saw that movie; it was terrible. Where did they find these positive reviews?” If you have, you’re not alone — and you’re going to love ScreenCrush’s series, Critics Are Raving!, which balances the cinematic scales with trailers full of slightly more accurate (and slightly more negative) lines from reviews. Real critics. Real quotes. Really bad movies. That’s what’s Critics Are Raving! is all about.

For our 19th episode, one of the worst reviewed movies of the year. It’s no surprise in this case, because that movie happens to be Transformers: The Last Knight, the fifth installment in the universally successful (and near-universally disliked) Transformers franchise. Critics have had a lot of bad things to say about all the Transformers sequels, and somehow The Last Knight got worse reviews than all of its predecessors. But the worse the reviews, the better the Critics Are Raving! video. And this one is pretty great.

This is our 19th Critics Are Raving! trailer, but there are more on the way — if you’ve got a movie (or TV show) you’d like to see featured, let us know in the comments section below or send us a tweet or Facebook message.
